Carl threw down the paper angrily.

Carl: He can’t do it! I don’t want to go back to work! There must be something I can Do!

Andy: Hello.

Carl: Oh hello Andy. It’s me Carl anyway I’ve decided that maybe I should go back to work I’ve realized that what I’ve been doing has been wrong and I need you to help me find another job so could you come over please?

Andy: Sure I’ll be right over.

Carl: Without Andy no one can stop me from being on welfare.

He loads the gun.

20 minutes later.

Andy arrives entering the trailer.

Andy: Carl where are you?

Carl: Right here!

He shoots Andy 3 times in the chest.

Andy falls to the floor dead.

Carl: Sorry Andy but I want my fat check!

Carl: Well this is it.

He took Andy’s body and threw it in the water below the cliff. The body made a big splash! As it hit the water below.

Carl: So long Andy!

He got in his car driving back to his trailer.
